Asian Movie Remake Wins Best Movie, Best Director
Posted by Ray @ 3:22 pmThe Departed wins best movie and best director at the Oscars.
Boo! Hiss!
Boy, I bet Andrew Lau and Siu Fai Mak are miffed.
To be fair, Martin Scorsese is long overdue for an Oscar. And while I haven’t watched it yet, The Departed is very well-reviewed on rotten-tomatoes. But it seems to me that Infernal Affairs really got shafted. I hope getting the rights to an adaptation cost a bomb.
Personally, I was hoping for Little Miss Sunshine to take away the Oscar for best picture. But having won best original screenplay, I guess it was too much to hope for.
Let’s hope Infernal Affairs gets more attention after this win.
